IPC: B65H29/00
Filed: 2000-07-20
Abstract: At least one positioning device (5) and at least one orienting device (6) are provided in order to manage a device for intermediately storing flat objects, especially printing products, that are intermediately stored in rolls, for example. The device comprises a plurality of roll stations (1), a plurality of mobile roll stands (2) and a plurality of storage areas (2.1, 2.2) for roll stands. The storage areas (2.1, 2.2) are arranged on a plurality of parallel, primary transport paths (3). The primary transport paths cross at least one secondary transport path (4.1, 4.2). The entries of the roll stations (1) are arranged along a secondary transport path (4) and aligned with primary transport paths (3). In order to remove the roll stands (2) by drawing and to position the same by pushing, the positioning device (5) can be actively displaced in storage areas (2.1, 2.2) and roll stations (1) along primary transport paths (3). The orienting device (6) serves to receive loaded or empty positioning devices (5), to reorientate them for successive transport measures on primary transport paths (3), for displacing them along secondary transport paths (4.1, 4.2) and, optionally, for raising or lowering them to additional levels having additional storage areas (2.1, 2.2) as well as primary and secondary transport paths (3, 4). The method and device can also be used, in an analogous manner, for managing devices for intermediately storing rolls of flat objects which, without roll stands, are handled on pallets, for example, or for managing other storage units of flat objects which are handled using other suitable supporting elements.

Title: System for geothermal production of electricity
Inventor: SHNELL JAMES H
IPC: F24J3/08
Filed: 1996-06-07
Abstract: A system for the generation of electricity from geothermal energy that is less expensive, more efficient, and avoids dealing with undesirable byproducts, is disclosed. The system of the present invention relies on using endothermic reactions at the bottom of a well to capture and store the geothermal heat, and exothermic reactions at the top of the well to release the heat stored within the products of the endothermic reactions. In the preferred embodiment, the endothermic reaction is the dehydrogenation of ethanol. To induce the endothermic reaction as well as to harvest and separate the resulting products, a catalytic device is used where each type of product selectively diffuses into its individual conduit. The endothermic products undergo the exothermic reaction in a combustion turbine, and the products of the exothermic reaction are immediately condensed in a condenser. In the preferred embodiment the condenser condenses ethanol vapor into a liquid to be returned down the well, thus creating a closed system.

Patent AU-6560400-A (AU)
Title: Method and apparatus for synchronizing a database in portable communication devices
Inventor: NOVAK LARS
IPC: H04Q7/36
Filed: 2000-07-03
Abstract: A checksum is calculated on a database stored in a SIM card when changes are made to a database stored therein. This checksum can be stored in a mobile phone, e.g., with the change log. When synchronization between devices is to be performed, another checksum can be calculated on the database stored in the SIM card. If the stored checksum does not match the calculated checksum, then a change has occurred in the contents of the database that is not reflected in the change log. Accordingly, a full synchronization process can be performed wherein the database records in each device can be compared. If, on the other hand, the checksums match, then the change log accurately reflects any changes made to the database stored in the SIM card and the synchronization process can proceed more expediently using the change log.

Title: Hydraulically powered repetitive impact hammer
Inventor: OTTESTAD JACK B
IPC: B25D17/24
Filed: 1990-12-20
Abstract: An impact hammer according to this invention has a frame to house its actuating mechanism and to support a working impact tool which is to receive a sharp impact blow from the impact hammer and deliver it to a structure or formation that is to be pierced or fragmented. The impact tool projects from the frame and is axially reciprocable in the frame. A hammer head is reciprocably mounted in the frame with a close sliding fit. It has an impact face that faces toward the impact tool to strike the tool when the impact is intended to occur. At positions beyond this intended range, the hammer head is braked so it does not impact the frame. The blow to the tool is a high-energy, sharp blow, and is not intended to contribute a follow-on application of force after the initial impact. The hammer head has a shank, a loading shoulder and a poppet port. A poppet is reciprocably fitted in the hammer head with a poppet head so proportioned and arranged as to close the poppet port to enable the impact hammer to be loaded, and to be abruptly removed from the poppet port to enable the impact hammer to be fired. A firing pin is fitted in the frame to cooperate with the poppet to unseat the poppet when the impact hammer is to be fired.
